Title: Downloading Post by: beka-ashy on February 15, 2008, 06:42:50 pm Im pretty new at this downloading for the sims 2 thing and when ever I try to download one it never appears on the game.
Am I doing something wrong? When I click the attachment to download it I click "Save" and save it in the "Downloads" folder under the Sims 2. I have no idea what to do next and I really need help. Can someone help me please? Title: Downloading Post by: Mr Heartache on February 15, 2008, 06:49:09 pm do you have winzip or winrar to access the files? You need one of those programs to be able to put the files into your downloads folder to get them in game.
Title: Downloading Post by: Theraven on February 15, 2008, 08:14:24 pm in addition to using winzip/winrar to extract the files, you also have to enable the custom content (the downloads) ingame. when your game is finished loading, a blue box with a list of your downloads will appear. click on "enable custom content" (or something like that - on your language) and restart the game. the downloads won't show up until you restart.
for some downloads you also have to use something called CEP (http://modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=92541) so that recolors of the thing will show up. (read THROUGHLY before downloading anything!) also remember to download meshes. otherwise the downloads won't work, and they will often flash blue if you place it somewhere, or not show up at all. remember to read everything before downloading something. not all downloads work with every game, and some combinatons (especially hacks) might mess up your game a lot. some downloads also needs certain Expansion Packs (or EP's) to function. (for future gamehelp, you'll probably get better results if you post in the game help section (http://www.insimenator.net/forumdisplay.php?f=43). right here, it's a sims stories thread - where people can post their stories from sims, and story assistance. it's better to find the right thread, and read the forum rules before start asking or posting wildly.) |
